a) Marks are awarded in Postgraduate Examination M = (X1 + 0.6 X2 + 0.25 X3 + 0.15 X4)/2,

b) Marks are not awarded in Postgraduate Examination M = (0.6x X2 + 0.25x X3 + 0.15x X4)

Case 2 Where undergraduate degree is considered as the qualifying examination, M = (X2 + 0.4 X3 + 0.3 X4)/1.7,

Case 3 Where the candidate has passed Higher Secondary Examination only (instead of High School & Intermediate both) M = (X1 + 0.6x X2 + 0.4x X5)/2

where,

M = Marks for the academic record, X1 = Percentage of marks obtained at the post-graduate examination, X2 = Percentage of marks obtained at the under-graduate examination X3 = Percentage of marks obtained at the intermediate/higher secondary examination, X4 = Percentage of marks obtained at the high school examination , and X5 = Percentage of marks obtained at the higher secondary examination. Note: ‘M’, X1,X2,X3,X4, X5 will be calculated upto two places of decimal. 50 Marks in Academic record means mark should be 50 and above. Rounding for lower marks not applicable.

Example (Case 1):

If X1 = 56.10%, X2 = 60.39%, X3 = 62.25%, X4 = 55.65% M = [56.10 + (0.6 x 60.39) + (0.25 x 62.25) + (0.15 x 55.65)]/2 M = 58.11

NOTE: (i) A candidate appearing in the final year of the Qualifying Examination may also apply and appear in the RET

(wherever applicable). A candidate may be admitted for the Ph. D. programme at the beginning of any Semester

provided the result of the qualifying examination is declared before the start of the counseling for admission to the Ph.D. programme and he/she fulfils the eligibility criteria.

(ii) If the applicant has passed the qualifying examination where grades are awarded and: (a) Where the Grade Sheet does not mention the equivalent percentage of marks from grade points, the

candidate should submit such a Certificate of conversion from the concerned Institution mentioning either the converted percentage, or the formula for the actual conversion of grade point average to percentage of marks.

(b) Where the Grade Sheet itself mentions the equivalent percentage of marks from grade points, or the formula for such conversion, the candidate should get both sides of the Degree/Grade Sheet photocopied showing the equivalent percentage of marks/conversion formula and enclose with the Application Form.

(c) In case there is no conversion formula for computing the percentage, CGPA (out of 10) multiplied by 10 will constitute the percentage. If the CGPA is available out of 4, then CGPA multiplied by 25 will constitute the percentage.

(d) For the candidates belonging to the RET Exempted category, the minimum benchmark of obtaining the academic record of 50 shall not apply. However, the Academic Record for such candidates would still be calculated, as per the aforesaid formula, for the purposes of determining the inter se merit amongst the RET Exempted category applicants.
